It's always easiest to dismiss and return to our usual stomping ground/paradigm.

Somebody tried, in recent history, to cut a large stone using tools people have used for millennia to carve stone with, using a couple generations of slaves, and couldn't do it? Who tried this?

You are welcome to back up your own claim, or else admit it's inaccurate.

You made the statement as fact so I'll wait for you to back it up.

People have been cutting stone with stone for more than three million years.

What statement did I make as a fact that's not common knowledge? If you are just looking for a fight, you've won.

This would indicate someone tried ("been ABLE to") and failed.

You said I should then Google experiments, indicating there ARE equivalent (to wit, slaves working stone for decades using Neolithic tools) experiments.

When and where, how many slaves did they use working sunup to sundown, for how many years, etc.?

If you're not willing to easily Google the examples, let's drop it...you win.

Why would I care if you, personally, read them or not? And I'm certainly not going to fetch anything for you.
